Chapter 35: Drunkenness
Gu Qingzhang's eyes were sharp, his speech was alarming, and the whole person looked extremely serious - but the premise of all this was to ignore the bowl of sea bass he was holding in his hand.
The corners of Lin Shijing's mouth twitched slightly: "I said Master Hou, can you wipe the corners of your mouth when you speak?" ”
"Oh, I'm sorry," Gu Qingzhang solemnly apologized for this, and carefully wiped the corners of his mouth with a handkerchief, "I won't be next time!" ”
Lin Shijing ignored his positive apology, he stared at the handkerchief in Gu Qingzhang's hand inquiringly, and then turned his head to look at Lin Chonghan, looking a little puzzled.
"Wait a minute, your handkerchief," Lin Shijing squinted suspiciously, "I seem to have seen it in Chonghan." ”
Gu Qingzhang quickly put away his handkerchief and covered it up with a haha delusion: "What? Where? Nothing! You must be misremembering! ”
After thinking about it seriously, Lin Shijing was furious: "What's not, I saw it in the heavy cold room, it must be her!" ”
Another of the parties, Lin Chonghan and Shi Shiran, sat on the seat, leisurely watching the two spray each other, eating pastries while watching, feeling that life was extraordinarily comfortable.
And after a fierce battle, Gu Qingzhang finally saved Lin Chonghan's handkerchief with difficulty, and he proudly stuffed the handkerchief into his arms.
He said, "Let's go?" Let's go to Xiaoyue Tower to listen to the play. ”
*
Xiaoyue Tower sits north and faces south, standing beside the vortex river, not far from where they eat.
The loss of a life doesn't seem to have caused any loss to Xiaoyuelou, and the day after the early night death, Xiaoyuelou is still the same as usual, as if it will continue to sing and dance until the end of its life.
The old bustard saw Gu Qingzhang again, and although the arc of the smile on his face remained unchanged, there was a little more panic in his eyes.
"This guest," she greeted herself, "but what is the matter?" ”
Gu Qingzhang replied: "Can't you come if you have nothing to do?" Someone asked us to come here to listen to the play, but the proprietress didn't want to? ”
Hearing that a few people were planning to listen to the play, the old bustard was obviously relieved, and the smile on her face became enthusiastic again, and beckoned them to go in with a smile: "Guests go up, you have been walking east along the corridor on the second floor, there is a door with Yulin bell inscribed on it, you just push open the door and go in." ”
The three of them followed the turtle slave who led the way, all the way through the crowd, to the east of Xiaoyue Tower.
Lin Chonghan wore a veil, looking down at the crowd on the first floor while walking, Xiaoyue Tower is worthy of being the most famous gold cave in the whole Bozhou, where countless men and women are merry and happy.
There are slender prostitutes dressed in imitation of the Western Regions, dancing on the table, and the gold and silver jewelry all over their bodies are constantly ringing with their movements; Many of the guests below were fascinated, and they pillowed in the gentle township, revealing the most embarrassing ugliness of their lives.
Seeing the rise, the red-faced guest shouted hello, and casually untied a piece of silver from his waist and laughed and put it in the prostitute's bosom.
After a while, the turtle slave who led the way stopped and said, "Ladies and gentlemen, it's here." ”
Lin Chonghan withdrew his eyes.
I saw that the turtle slave gently pushed, and the door slowly opened to everyone.
A very large stage catches everyone's eye, and the beams of the room are tied with colorful satin, and small lanterns hang on the satin, illuminating the whole lobby.
There were already courtesans sitting on the stage playing the pipa, singing the lyrics leisurely, Lin Shijing closed his eyes and listened, a little surprised: "This is Bai Letian's "Pipa Xing"? ”
Fang Chong had been waiting here for a long time, and when he saw them, he hurriedly stepped forward to greet them, and when he heard Lin Shijing's words, he smiled and said: "Brother Lin has good taste, now it's just the courtesans singing the lyrics, and there will be a play to watch later." ”
He led everyone down one by one, and when it was Lin Chonghan's turn, he saw that the other party didn't bring a maid, so he specially asked the turtle slave to find a little maid to serve her.
"Wuling is young and entangled, and I don't know how many red silk songs are there-"
The courtesans on the stage sang softly, and everyone in the audience smiled brightly, and they talked to each other very warmly.
The atmosphere gradually became hot, and Lin Chonghan watched Gu Qingzhang talk and laugh with Fang Zhong with ease, looking very much like a courtesan.
She laughed in her heart while casually watching the opera on stage.
I didn't want to do it at this time, Fang Chong suddenly asked someone to bring a pair of boxes to her, and the other party's attitude was humble and respectful, and said: "I didn't expect that there would be nobles in the land of Xiaobozhou, this is a little heart, and please don't dislike it." ”
The servant opened the long flat box, and inside was a dotted emerald hairpin lying on the left, and on the right was a dazzling array of jade jewelry.
"I got a whole piece of Hetian jade by accident," Fang Zhong explained in a timely manner, and his pride and complacency could not be concealed in his tone, "so I specially invited a good craftsman to make this jade into a whole set of jewelry." ”
He said: "As soon as I saw the nobles, I felt that there was no one in this world who was more worthy of this jade than you." ”
This man really has a clever mouth and a face comparable to that of a city wall.
Lin Chonghan's reaction was very fast, she smiled, and said lightly: "You are really courageous." Although I want to receive it, I often have to contact with nobles after returning to Beijing, and it is inconvenient to bring it. ”
"In that case, how can you bear to let Meiyu be dusted."
Fang Chong's back was soaked with cold sweat, but it was not because of fear, but because of excitement.
The Lin family's family background must be as prominent as the main family, how many people in this world can be called nobles by the Lin family? And it's only those who need others to avoid it.
Fang Zhong hurriedly asked people to put away the box, but at this moment, Gu Qingzhang casually pointed to a scene on the stage, and said with a smile: "Brother Fang is so rich and rivals the country, why don't you go and talk to the old bustard here, how about sending this little girl to me?" ”
It's just a prostitute, Fang revisited it and responded casually, not paying attention to it at all.
Lin Shijing didn't know what he was having, he glanced at Lin Chonghan, saw that the other party was not abnormal, and knew that Gu Qingzhang must have greeted her in advance, so he was relieved.
After three rounds of drinking, Fang Zhong was already a little drunk, and Gu Qingzhang seemed to be very drunk.
The two soon began to hook their shoulders and call each other brothers, Fang Zhong put his arms around Gu Qingzhang's neck, and came all the way to the first floor to find the old bustard, and said with a big tongue that he wanted to give the singing girl to Gu Qingzhang.
The old bustard looked speechless and stopped.
"What," Fang Zhong felt that he had been disgraced, and he was in a very unhappy mood, "I don't even have the right to dispose of a girl now?!" ”
He said so, and the bustard didn't dare to refute it, so he could only agree with a smile.
The two of them intimately commented on the girls in the hall again, and then began to pick on the furnishings of Xiaoyue Tower, and finally even the turtle slaves passing by had to dislike a few words.
Pimp:......
The two people who were annoyed by cats and dogs wandered all the way in Xiaoyue Tower, and Gu Qingzhang directly asked Fang Chong to go to the capital and go directly to Ning'an Hou Mansion to find him.
Fang Zhong instantly sobered up a little.
But he still pretended to be a drunk, and sent the drunk Gu Qingzhang safely to the carriage before quietly breathing a sigh of relief.
On the way back, he couldn't help but spit on the road and scolded in a low voice: "Damn, it's a Hou Ye!" After speaking, he was afraid for a while, but fortunately he didn't offend the other party today.
At this time, Gu Qingzhang also sat up from the carriage, his eyes were clear, and it was obvious that he was not drunk at all.
Gu Qingzhang looked at the prostitute in the corner and said slowly: "Say, Qingxiao's death, what's going on?" ”
